Thank you Kathy Griffin for the indisputable evidence of your
liberal bigotry and ignorance.
Following a few days of outrage over a photo of her posing with
a model of President Donald Trump’s severed bloody head,
comedian Kathy Griffin held a press conference today to address
the controversy over the image and the backlash she’s received.
After attorney Lisa Bloom explained that Griffin’s photo was a
parody of Trump’s own sexist remarks while claiming that Griffin
is the target of a bullying campaign by the president and his
family, the comic stepped up to the mic for what she described
as “off the cuff” remarks.
“I’m not afraid of Donald Trump,” Griffin stated, noting that
she was really nervous. Addressing the image and her job as a
comedian, she said that she loves to make people laugh and that
“sometimes people want a joke that’s out there and is a little
crazy.”
As for her apology over the graphic photograph, she wanted it
known that it was genuine and she still stands behind it.
“That apology absolutely stands. I feel horrible. I have
performed in war zones,” she added. “I make mistakes. I am an
out there comedian.”
From there, Griffin addressed the president directly, claiming
that he was “personally trying to ruin” her life forever and
that everyone knows he won’t stop.
“This is America, and you shouldn’t have to die for it. The
death threats I am getting are constant and they are detailed,”
the ex-CNN New Year’s Eve host exclaimed. “Today it’s me.
Tomorrow it could be you.”
Griffin went on for a bit more, letting the press know that her
mother isn’t talking to her anymore because she “thinks Fox News
is real” and she loves Tucker Carlson. She further added that
she’ll continue to make fun of Trump but that she’s also had
“everybody turn on” her.
Do us all a favor and kill yourself. Take responsibility for
your actions.
